I have many of these guys and they are favoring my Butterfly Bushes. I don't like to spray pesticides so am sacrificing my BB's since they like them best. I squash them when I find them but they are fast and hide underneath the leaves and they can fly away. Any help IDing them and ridding them would help. Thanks.
Oh, excuse my awful looking hands...
This appears to be a four-lined plant bug, Poecilocapus lineatus - see http://www.vegedge.umn.edu/vegpest/CUCS/4line.htm for more information, including some control suggestions, and http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/843/ for areas it has been reported from.
Thanks suunto for the information!
